Pecan Toffee Tarts

At my family's house we always finished these first over Christmas. In fact I learned that Santa's information gathering services weren't all they're cracked up to be, given how many tarts I snitched without repercussions (either that or I'm due A LOT of prezzies).

Crust:

  1. Cream mixture with fingers until blended:
    1 cup butter
    170 grams (6 oz) cream cheese
    2 cups flour

  2. Form balls about one inch in diameter and press into miniature muffin pans.

Filling:

  1. Mix together:
    2 eggs
    2 tablespoons melted butter
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla
    1-1/2 cups brown sugar
    1 cup nuts (if you don't have pecans, walnuts will do)

  2. Place one full teaspoon in uncooked crust.

  3. Bake for 25 to 20 minutes at 175C (350F)
